My buried Mother, can forget?
Or must the grave eternal sever,
You lingcr in my memory yet,
And in my heart you'll live forever.
You loved me once, with love sincere,
And never did your love deceive me;
But often in my conflicts here,
You rallied quickly to relieve me.
! Elin would weep, but what of tears,
No tears of niue could Ger recall thee
Nor would | wish that growing cares,
Cares like mine, should Ger bcfal thee.
You rest in realms Of light and love;
You dwell upon the Mount Of Glory
You bask in beams of bliss above,
And shout to tell your happy story.
